A police spokesman said: “Police are urging anyone who owns a quad bike or motorbike to chain it to a solid anchor and if possible also keep it in a locked building.

“Valuable tools should also be chained together and locked in a secure building.

“Also consider visibly marking your items in paint with your post code to make them less attractive to thieves and easily identifiable.

“Thieves are looking for easy pickings they can sell quickly and the more difficult you can make it for them the less likely they are to steal your belongings.

“Finally, it is likely the thieves steal the quad bikes by putting them in or onto a trailer.

“If you see a quad bike being transported on a trailer and are suspicious it may have been stolen, please report the sighting to police.”
